I have used PDFlib and FPDF. PDFLib works great and is very fast but,
requires some installation. FPDF is slower but, requires no
installation other than copying the php code to your server.
If you want to turn html into a pdf and eliminate the need to create
code for the html view and for the PDF view you will have to go a
different route. For that I have used HTMLDOC http://www.htmldoc.org/
and Prince http://www.princexml.com/.
HTMLDOC is free and works pretty well with HTML3.2 but has no CSS
support. Prince on the other hand is not free but has support for CSS
and SVG.
